A language is a dialect that has an army and a navy. -Max Weinreich,
linguist and author (1894-1969)

that's what is wrong with Belorusian: we don't have a navy! Dnepr flotilla doesn't count!

I think Belarusian goverment has several ships in the Baltics (or has them on lease), but they are commercial ships, not navy. You are right.

I am not sure whether Switzerland, Slovakia and some other landlocked European nations have any navy.
